Leading up to the event, Sonnen even produced a video describing life on the "mean streets" of West Linn, in which his father barely made $100,000 a year and some teenagers didn't get their own luxury car. Hardy har har.

Despite all the controversy surrounding Sonnen, the media seemed to largely ignore this event.

Did anyone go? What can you tell us about the event? Who won the grand prize of breakfast with Chael Sonnen?

And more intriguing - did Matt Wingard show? Sheehan originally was slated to host the event with Matt Wingard. But of course, you can't exactly have an event that is both hosted by AND honoring disgraced politicians. Sheehan uninvited Wingard from the event. But was Wingard still there?

Here's what I really want to know: Will Sheehan call on Wingard to resign -- or is he participating in the go-along/get-along approach favored by Republican leaders like Greg Walden, Allen Alley, and Bruce Hanna?

Wow, this article is embarrassing. Completely uneducated about the SPORT of MMA and Middleweight Contender Chael Sonnen, yet stating your biased opinion. You are not even able to appreciate the sarcasm in the "American Gangster" Promo. Mr. Sonnen dedicated an entire chapter in his brilliant book "The Voice of Reason", exposing inbred "democrats" like yourself. I mean, look at yourself, seriously. Great times, where every biased f+++face can pretend to be a journalist. Thank god nobody cares, considering the activity on this page.

Shemia Fagan - school board member -attorney - Emerge Oregon graduate- and expecting first child. Smart, great humor, incredible ethics and works harder on her campaign than most candidates. Donate a little or a lot to elect Shemia. She has a real furure in Oregon politics.
Elect Shemia Fagan!

I'm not a fan of Chael Sonnen's politics but he is as carny as they come when it involves promoting a fight and that's somewhat of a lost art. I can appreciate it. Sonnen's done some dumb stuff that got him in hot water, and seems to be a lousy human, but no one should ever take seriously what a boxer/mma star says when hyping up a match.

To the Oregon Legislature:

Some large corporations pay nothing - zero - in income taxes to Oregon. Unfortunately, we don't know which ones or the specific accounting tricks and loopholes they use to avoid income taxes. It's wrong that working families pay more in income taxes to support schools and other public services than some of the largest corporations doing business in Oregon. We ask the legislature to enact corporate tax disclosure and let the public know which corporations are paying their fair share.
